Switch 2’s Handheld Boost Makes Handheld Play Look Like TV Mode

Nintendo Switch 2’s latest firmware update (version 22.0.0) adds Handheld Mode Boost, enabling compatible games to run with TV-mode visuals while undocked and output at up to 1080p in handheld. Enable it in System Settings > System > Nintendo Switch Software Handling > Handheld Mode Boost. The boost can improve visuals but may raise power consumption, and its effects vary by game. It forces TV-mode operation, which can cause some instructions to be incorrect, may disable touch screen, and remaps Joy-Con 2 to a Switch 2 Pro Controller; if you want other controllers, detach the Joy-Con 2 first.
